Landmark Projects
What is a landmark project?
Defined by their scale, technological innovation, or symbolic importance in the transition to renewable energy, landmark projects mark key milestones set new standards for the industry. They may be the largest of their kind, the first in a region or globally, or successfully built in some of the world’s most challenging environments.
With more than four decades of experience, Vestas has led the delivery of projects with this level of ambition and impact. As they grow in scale, so does their complexity and strategic importance. These projects are vital to enabling a future built on affordable, sustainable, and secure energy.
By combining global reach with strong local execution, Vestas meets these challenges head-on, creating long-term value for communities and accelerating the energy transition worldwide.
Delivering the world’s landmark wind projects
South America
We have finalised the Serra do Tigre and Babilônia Centro projects in Brazil, delivering a total of 1.3 GW of capacity and continuing to expand our presence in Brazil and across the region.
North America
SunZia, the largest clean energy infrastructure project in U.S. history, is now complete, and we continue to strengthen our presence across North America.
Europe
We are advancing several offshore giga-projects in the North and Baltic Seas, while recently completing the wind phase of the Tâmega hydro-wind project in Portugal, powered by our EnVentus platform.
Australia
We have completed the 1.3 GW Golden Plains Wind Farm, the largest wind energy project in the Southern Hemisphere.
Technology
Our commitment to technology is key to delivering scalable, reliable and sustainable solutions. In order to pull off projects of this scale, factors such as climatic conditions, optimal turbine mix, and varied hub heights must be thoroughly analysed and discussed with the customer to ensure maximum capacity and long-term value.
Vestas leverages its industry-leading turbines and global expertise to provide customised solutions uniquely suited to each projects conditions.
Partnership
Sustainable growth and scale require strong partnerships across the renewable industry, and at Vestas we consider partnerships as a strategic enabler to evolve as a leading and attractive partner in the emerging, renewable energy ecosystem.
Over the decades, we have prioritised long-term relationships with our strategic suppliers and customers, learning from and growing with each other. Today, we are expanding this approach by differentiating offerings across business areas.
CSR and Sustainability
At Vestas, we recognise that leading the transition to renewables requires fully including and engaging with local communities. We often engage with the communities around our project sites to identify their specific needs, working closely with community leaders and our customers to create sustainable plans that deliver a lasting impact, well beyond the lifetime of the project.
Project Execution
Vestas has decades of experience executing projects in remote and challenging locations. Successfully managing such operations requires extensive planning and coordination.
To ensure smooth execution from both safety and logistics perspectives, we meticulously assess and mitigate potential risks and challenges for each project. This could involve improving road conditions or working closely with local and regional authorities to secure all necessary transport permits.
Local commitment
Projects of this magnitude can significantly shape a region's renewable energy landscape and leave a lasting impact on local communities. They not only create local jobs and support across the supply chain, but can also drive economic investment through critical infrastructure improvements, such as upgraded roads and facilities. By producing components locally, we minimise transportation distances and reduce our carbon footprint, which is a priority for both Vestas and our customers.
Safety
At Vestas, safety is our highest priority. We ensure that our employees, external suppliers, and contractors receive the comprehensive training they need to perform their tasks effectively and safely. We aim to be a trusted partner to our customers by demonstrating leadership, anticipating risks and identifying opportunties across the value chain to maximise value.
